A good text for the subject covered, but highly disappointed in nursing professor that referred to it only handful of times in the course. I felt had the class not been so involved in projects that it would have been more valued. It served more as a reference tool vs. major source for student's knowledge base. With that said, would still recommend it for the nursing student focusing on community health issues.
This information is not hard, however, it could be said in a more interesting way. I think it is so dry that it makes it hard to read. I find myself reading then asking myself, what have I just read. It is one of the worst set ups for a book I have seen. The information provided could have been said in less words...This book really only needed to be about 200 pages... Not a 1000k
Book was really needed for CH nursing. Nursing instructor created questions and answers for exams directly from the pages of this book. It is interesting and helped put community and public health nursing into perspective.
I only purchased this book as a requirement for a public health class. I find the reading to be very tedious, boring,and poorly layed out. While the material is not at all difficult, the formatting makes it impossible to pay attention.
The book itself is perfect. What I didn't realize by purchasing it here was that it did not include an access code to the Elsevier extra online content. I could have purchased it directly from them for same price and received the code.
This book was a great book for nurses that serve in a community setting such as doctor office, school nurse, health department or other type of non-hospital environment. I enjoyed the class that went with this book (at a university) and I gained alot of knowledge that hospital nurses don't really pay attention to or wasn't aware of. Book was formatted well and nicely written.
I took Community Health Nursing at GCU. This book was a much needed resource to get through this course! Recommended!
I ordered this book as a textbook requirement while working in my masters for nursing school. I wouldn't have bought this book for personal use but it was a great professional education tool.
